Having my supplies on wheels really helps when I need to relocate or rearrange my space. I don't have a large budget, so this a small wheeled cart I purchased and assembled from Harbor Freight for around $50. I use dollar store pencil boxes and hanging containers to help organize.

I label the box and it's place on the shelf. I also label student use cabinets with the hopes they will work to keep it clean!

I also use these as a spot for students to leave their belongings as they come into the garage.
